Good, balanced list, Abe. And yes, any such list will have omissions that are tough to leave out. It's almost absurdly difficult to formulate such a list, lol!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
The Tragically Hip - Day for Night Rush - 2112 Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall 1971 Beatles - Revolver Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed Pearl Jam - No Code Husker Du - Zen Arcade Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks Pink Floyd - The Wall Jane’s Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
Leaving Suicidal Tendencies, Mark Lanegan, Faith No More or King’s X off this list was difficult.

Not truly objective top 10 material, but Blues Traveler Four and Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are both incredible albums that would make my personal top ten.

T&T or maybe Soul are preferred, but the first four records are really fucking good. Blues Traveler are mind blowingly good, live. Popper's voice is just ridiculous. Have seen them two times pretty recently and I think they are significantly better now then they were when I saw them early in their career.

Thanks brian! I’ve thought about this list way too much lol

Interesting list! I like the Neil young selection and I definitely thought about Ritual de Lo being on mine.
Also, I love all the ones mentioned on your hard to leave off list! Which Faith No More would you pick?

Thanks! Your list is solid Abe.
My favourite FNM album is Angel Dust (by a sliver) but for this list it would probably have to be The Real Thing. The first time I heard that album I was hooked and it still holds up today.

Sure thing, 1T! This has been fun. I'm enjoying seeing all this lists... and learning that there are some glaring gaps in my record collection!

I checked and I’m only missing 3 off your list. I’m going to Spotify them when travelling for work and give them a listen and see if I need to add them to my Discogs want list 👍. Since your list was first I’ll start there lol
While the Hip were relatively unknown to our friends across the border they still had pockets where they were well known. Upstate New York, New England and Washington State particularly. If you have never listened to them I strongly encourage you to give Day For Night a listen. It’s a great introduction to the band. While I LOVE all their albums, it is the defining album for the band IMO. Some may not agree, but it is similar to No Code in that it is an album that saw an already very successful rock band go in a new direction, one that was artistically different and somewhat risky but showed what talented songwriters and musicians they are. Cheers B!

I must check out Day for Night, 1T! Your mentioning it reminded me that I had read something in the AllMusic review about it but couldn't remember so I looked it up. AM 's review in words seems fair enough (https://www.allmusic.com/album/day-for-night-mw0000627518 ) but they only gave it three stars. The fan's reviews disagree with that rating, one saying:
"Come on, AllMusic, this album deserves way more than three stars! The
problem with reviewing the Tragically Hip is that their albums demand
repeated listenings before their depth is fully revealed--which is not
to say that all of the Hip's albums are great, but most of them get
better with age. This album is the Hip's greatest achievement."
and another that says:
"....and out of the muck, comes an album so dark and absorbing, you'll have to hold on to not get sucked in to its void. ...the fact is, in the U.S.A., this band is little known and never
critically praised. If you are reading this, I implore you to enrich
your life with this band."
I must do that!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Not truly objective top 10 material, but Blues Traveler Four and Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are both incredible albums that would make my personal top ten.
Recently picked up Four on CD and was blown away! I saw them live once back in the 90s when I was in college, had a few CD singles but never listened to all of that particular record.
To heck with the need to be snootchy bootchy about what the music did, meant, blah.
Looking at many lists, there is no fucking way everyone else is using the highbrow radar on their picks.
That stated, this is what I type up this evening -- in a metal mood, would be very different tomorrow:
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
AC'DC - Back in Black
Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love
NIN - Pretty Hate Machine
Whitesnake - Whitesnake
Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death
Sunday afternoon is feeling "alternative/90s" after the last list was metal/80s.
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin Faith No More - Angel Dust
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Pearl Jam - Ten
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
Rage Against the Machine - RATM
Sublime - 40 oz to Freedom
Been on a serious RHCP kick lately as I have been reading AK’s book Scar Tissue. Rough read but pushed me to check out their first 3 records. Never listened to Freaky Styley until recently. Also, I may be in the minority here, but One Hot Minute slays me. Not like Blood Sugar did when I was 13, but man, what a cool transformation style wise. Then to follow it up with Californication?

The album tracks don't have the super memorable hooks of Run Around and Hook, but they are really good. Every time I bust it out I remember how much I forgot how heavily rhythm and riff based their songs are. It's easy to miss the bass and guitar with Poppers vocals and harmonica work, but songs like Crash Burn are almost Zeppelin like in the rhythm and riff aspect. The lyrics for Just Wait and Long Way to Fall are pretty awesome too.
"The answers
Are getting harder and harder
And there ain't no way to bargain or to barter
But if you've got the angst or you've got the ardor
You might faint from the fight but you're gonna find it
For every challenge could have paradise behind it
And if you accept what you have lost and you stand tall
You might just get it back and you can get it all
So now you know why it's a long way to fall"

It was really hard to leave Daydream Nation out of my top 10 for sure. And there's no way I could put together a list without some Lanegan or Lou Barlow on it.
I just spotted Zen Arcade on your list, that's a great record I need to play again soon.

@dankind By The Way! Such a gorgeous record. Head over heals in love with that one. I remember when the local Warner rep came to our store to bring some posters and promos completely bagging the album as ‘garbage.’ I remember blaring that record and The Strokes first one after close many, many nights.
